Autocomplete in nintexform

[#1]

Hi,

I am trying to implement Autocomplete functionality in nintex form but its not working .Below the code i used

NWF$(document).ready(function() {

NWF$().SPServices.SPAutocomplete({

sourceList: "Title",

sourceColumn: "Dept",

columnName:"Department",

ignoreCase: true,

numChars: 1,

slideDownSpeed: 'fast'

});

});

Also i linked my sp services and jquery in advanced section.Till its not working

Title: sourceList name

Dept : source column name

Department: the column in which auto complete should be implemented.

Dept is in one list (Title list),Department is in another list

Thanks

Hello,

I don't see in your code where you are attempting to target/reference a specific control on the form for your code to act upon.

Thanks

I am just trying to use SP Services in Nintex Form.

Hello gokulnath palani​ – Have you modified your SP Services JavaScript file to use the (NWF$) variable as opposed to the default (jQuery)?

For some more detailed guidance on what you're trying to accomplish you might check these out:

• Using SPServices to provide data to autocomplete field on Nintex | Drift Bottle
• Use SPServices in Nintex Forms​

I get that, and I've used it before successfully.  But aren't you going to want to apply it to certain controls on the form?   I don't see where you are referencing any controls to make autocomplete work on.  The two links posted above are good resources.

Hi   Patrick Abel , I tried all of the above but, it didn't work.

NWF$(document).ready(function() {   

   var externalParties = [];    

   NWF$().SPServices({     

      operation: "GetListItems",     

      async: false,     

      listName: "Title",     

      CAMLViewFields: "<ViewFields><FieldRef Name='PersonName' /></ViewFields>",

      completefunc: function (xData, Status) {       

         NWF$(xData.responseXML).SPFilterNode("z:row").each(function() {         

            externalParties.push(NWF$(this).attr("ows_PersonName      

         });     

      }   

   });       

   NWF$("#" + Deptinput).autocomplete({     

      source: externalParties 

   });

});

i am also modified  SP Services JavaScript file to use the (NWF$).

Title is the list name and PersonName is the column in that List.Deptinput is the  javascript id in Department field..

Thanks.

Hi Gokulnath,

Are you able to resolve the issue?I guess the issue is with spservices.min.js its giving an error that "find" is not found

Hi Patrick Abel,

Finally i achieved the Auto Complete functionality in Nintex Forms .In above code there is a brackets mismatching.Here is the exact code

NWF$(document).ready(function() {  

   var externalParties = [];   

   NWF$().SPServices({    

      operation: "GetListItems",    

      async: false,    

      listName: "Title",    

      CAMLViewFields: "<ViewFields><FieldRef Name='PersonName' /></ViewFields>",

      completefunc: function (xData, Status) {      

         NWF$(xData.responseXML).SPFilterNode("z:row").each(function() {        

            externalParties.push(NWF$(this).attr("ows_PersonName)) 

         });    

      }  

   });      

   NWF$("#" + Deptinput).autocomplete({    

      source: externalParties

   });

});

Thanks a lot .
